After a long silent period it’s time to start another series of blog-posts. During the summer most potential readers were at the beach, sailing or traveling through a foreign country, not thinking about business and work at all. So why bother?
Of course I discussed a lot of different annual reports, comparing different companies or a company through a series. Often it was a combination: several companies and a couple of years. E.g: https://anrep3d.wordpress.com/2017/03/18/looking-at-the-3d-graph/ about banks in the Netherlands, https://anrep3d.wordpress.com/2017/03/26/oil-gas-companies-in-spatial-graphs/ about oil & gas companies, https://anrep3d.wordpress.com/2017/04/02/comparing-different-types-of-companies-in-a-spatial-graph/ about very different industries in comparison, https://anrep3d.wordpress.com/2017/06/17/visualising-a-mix-of-large-companies-in-a-spatial-graph-i/ again about very different industries in comparison but this time really large ones, usually well-known (or at least their products and services).
For all these examples a full licence was needed, but the demo-version of AnRep3D is free. Why not use our own free demo-package for a change, to generate graphs the way everybody could do with the free demo-generator? Well, next time I will present a couple of companies (only one company a time for just one specific year as the free demo will generate only one “building” in the graph). Don’t think a graph generator with the free demo-generator wouldn’t be interesting!
Because four values are combined in one single building (total assets, equity, revenue and profit) a lot of ratio’s can be deducted visually: revenue or profit compared to equity, revenue and profit, equity to total assets. All relative measure providing interesting insight.
Let’s try and work out a couple of companies next time. Hope you will like it and don’t forget: the 3D-graph generator package can be downloaded for free. The generator comes with the manual and examples of input- and output-files (graphs, in html format, so basically webpages your browser can read and show). It’s available without any registration of name, email-address or phone number!
